The roots for this new chorus come from the founders' (Robert Bradley, Wynn Gadkar-Wilcox) love of singing. Both have long been immersed in the Barbershop Harmony Society where they met singing in the same chorus. Wilcox, classically trained in voice will be the Musical Director. He has been part of Men’s Chorales, Jazz Choirs Chamber Groups, and Barbershop choruses, quartets and octets. While attending UC Berkeley, he studied Jazz and Blues with Aaron Blumenfeld. Wilcox further developed his love for harmony, serving as vice President of Music with the Mixed Harmony Brigade of New England. In 2023 he attended conductor training at the Barbershop Harmony Society's Harmony University. He also happens to be a professor and co-chair of History at Western Connecticut State University.
